Giancarlo Stanton has 52 Home Runs

The Marlins beat the Phillies 10-9. The Marlins moved to 66-67 on the season. They’re still officially but unofficially in the National League Wildcard race, five games back and with a few teams to leapfrog. They would need a long and unlikely winning streak.

You just hope as a baseball fan that the Marlins build around the guy and don’t move him somewhere else. Yes, his contract is big. Yes, it could “hamper” their ability to build a more complete and cheap team. It’s probably marginal to the amount of asses he’s putting in those seats. But if you’re not going to build around a guy like this in his prime, you just aren’t trying.

I don’t want to live in a world where Giancarlo isn’t swatting bombs in Miami. This has been nothing short of incredible.
